Designing a 1.25 × 5 in rectangle label
Leave the right edge clear if the label wraps a bottle, so the overlap or gap does not cut through text. There is room for hierarchy here: one large element, one medium line and small supporting text.

Common
questions.
Prices and roll counts on this page are estimates. The quote builder gives your exact price before checkout, and every order starts with a free proof.
How much are 1,000 1.25 × 5 in rectangle labels?+
About $133.21 CAD for 1,000 ($0.133 each) and $127.81 for 250, on matte roll stock. At 5,000 the total is about $250.02, or $0.050 per label. These are approximate prices from our live price list as of October 6, 2026; the quote builder shows your exact price, including standard shipping, before you add to cart.
How many 1.25 × 5 in labels come on a roll?+
We wind rolls to your order. As a guide, a single-lane roll of 1.25 × 5 in rectangle labels on a 3 in core and up to 6 in across holds about 620 to 2,300 labels. Where you land in that range depends on the unwind direction: the long side running along the roll gives fewer labels per roll. Larger orders are split over several rolls. If your dispenser or applicator needs a specific core, roll size or count per roll, add a note to your order.
Will a 1.25 × 5 in label fit my bottle or jar?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 1.25 × 5 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 5 in length covers one about 1.6 in across, leaving a small gap.
Is 1.25 × 5 in the same as 5 × 1.25 in?+
It is the same label turned 90 degrees, and the price is identical. Type the size the way your artwork reads (portrait or landscape), then choose the unwind direction that suits how you apply the labels.
What is 1.25 × 5 in in millimetres?+
About 32 × 127 mm. If your packaging drawings are metric, switch the quote builder to CM and type the size directly.
Do 1.25 × 5 in labels get cheaper per label in bulk?+
The price per label falls as quantity goes up: about $0.511 each at 250, $0.133 at 1,000 and $0.050 at 5,000. For bigger runs, choose a custom quantity in the quote builder to see the exact total.
